According to ExWHUEmployee, West Ham is expected to reveal new contracts for Academy players this week.
The latest information on The West Ham Way Patreon was given by our podcast co-host and club insider, who said that while some players are expected to stay, fresh prospects will be arriving in east London this summer.
Ex said, “Luis Brown will carry on the family tradition of playing for the club.” “His father is Kenny Brown Jr., the academy manager. He was a member of the team from 1991 until 1996, when he notably scored the game-winning goal to deny Manchester United the league title.
“His father is the late great Ken Brown, who is the oldest ex-player still alive at West Ham. He was Bobby Moore’s defensive partner from 1953 to 1967 and made one appearance for England. Luis joins the team after being let go by Arsenal.
“To prolong his tenure in the Claret and Blue, Tyron Akpata has inked a new contract with the team. Midfielder Akpata, who has been with the team since he was under 15, is a well-liked figure in the locker room.
“The club will also reveal the addition of two under-18 youngsters on Friday: David Chigwada from Manchester City and Majid Balogun from Manchester United.
Balogun is a gifted forward that was born in Nigeria. “Balogun scored in the championship game against Aston Villa to lead Manchester United to the coveted Albert Phelan Cup in 2022.
Chigwada, a forward as well, intends to work with Balogun to create a dynamic duo. Chigwada, who moved to City from Blackburn Rovers in 2022, is regarded as an extremely devious and fun player!
“We are happy that these transfers, which we have been bringing to you exclusively for the past month or so, will be confirmed.”
